Late last week, the Supreme Court gave Republicans what they have wanted for years: a green light to redraw maps, weaken voting rights protections, and wipe Democratic seats off the board across the South.

Trump is celebrating because he thinks the Court handed his party a permanent advantage.

Fortunately, Trump is wrong! An analysis by Fair Fight Action, the leading nationwide voting and civil rights organization, shows Democrats can create as many as 22 new blue U.S. House seats across seven blue and swing states by 2028.

That’s right, if party leaders, governors, and state legislators stop hesitating and redistrict aggressively in New York, Colorado, Maryland, Oregon, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania, they can fully neutralize the GOP’s projected 19-seat gain across the South.

Republicans are already moving at record pace. They are targeting Black representation, Democratic voters, and the congressional districts that still give working people a voice in states like Tennessee, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and South Carolina. If Democrats treat this like a normal policy disagreement, Republicans will use the Court’s ruling to lock in minority rule for years.

This doesn’t have to be the only way Democrats fight back. Democrats must use every tool they have to defend democracy, especially protecting the voting power of underserved communities.

That means passing a new Voting Rights Act, creating national standards for non-partisan redistricting after the next census, and many other reforms that will protect our democracy -- but none of that is possible if Republicans redistrict Democrats out of power for the next several decades.

Tell the DNC, House Democratic leaders, governors, and elected officials in target states to redistrict now, fight back against the GOP’s power grab, and use every legal tool available to create new Democratic House seats before Republicans lock in control.

Tesla paid $1 billion in taxes to China and zero to the United States.

That is not an outlier. At least 88 profitable corporations paid no federal income tax last year, even as they generated billions in profit and paid massive executive compensation.

Companies like Disney, CVS, Palantir, and Taco Bell are thriving in an economy built by American workers, infrastructure, and public investment. Yet they contribute nothing back.

This is not sustainable. It is a system designed to protect corporate profits at the expense of working people.

If corporations paid taxes at the same rate as everyday Americans, we could fully fund Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAP. We could expand Social Security and invest in clean energy, infrastructure, and economic growth.

Instead, Congress allows billion-dollar companies to avoid taxes entirely while families are left to pick up the bill.

Demand that Congress pass legislation requiring corporations to pay taxes at the same rate as people and end corporate tax avoidance now.

Stephen Colbert was asked about rumors that he might run for public office, possibly even for President of the United States. Instead of brushing the idea aside, Colbert made a joke about talking to a faith leader and his family, but then left it open… going on to say he would consider serving the American people if there were a way to do so beyond television.

See it here:

For years, Colbert has been one of the most prominent critics of Donald Trump and one of the most recognizable political voices on television. His show reaches millions of viewers, and his commentary often shapes the broader political conversation in the United States.
